Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I went from mid pack to finishing 3rd in that, losing to 2nd by inches just because I didn't have enough time. I was actually super impressed by that sprint. I hit 39.4, which was good for me anyway. Then I blew up.
Nice. Except for the blowing up part.

But the h-word is much more prevalent than the c-word. And it has no alternative use except maybe as an adjective to describe an auto thst is always accidentally sounding its born. That's the one I would have put on the list.

Mine as well. I went through a VW phase in college and never completely got over it. This has been sitting in my garage since I left CA for MD 12ish years ago. He will ride again in TX...

It's on the list. So, we can't talk about certain types of country bars or Kona bicycles.

Whenever someone mentions the... ahem... 'h-word', that movie always comes to mind.

Most politically incorrect thing I have heard someone called while riding was directed at my team mate while riding to a team ride last year. You can probably sort from this...

saltine donkey n-word.

She had all the bases covered with that one. And it stuck, he says it pretty much every time we roll by that spot.

Scary vid, @LAJ.

If it were mine, the audio would probably be a little more "colorful".
